Description

It was a Japanese victory - but it spelled the end for Japan in the war at sea.

In Carrier Strike, Eric Hammel gives a blow-by-blow, edge-of-your-seat account of this crucial naval battle - a turning point in the bitter Guadalcanal Campaign.

Drawing on American and Japanese battle reports and the recollections of aviators and seamen who were there, Hammel recreates World War II's 4th - and last - carrier versus carrier battle, the battle of the Santa Cruz Islands in October 1942.

Written in the heart-stopping style that Hammel's readers have come to expect, Carrier Strike offers the only up-to-date, up-close, in-depth look at the battle that cost Japan any hope of winning the war in the Pacific.
